Origin: European Organic Production | Width: Approx. 280 cm
Orders of several lengths will always be cut in one piece unless otherwise instructed.
LAYLA is a wonderfully versatile, GOTS-certified organic linen fabric, woven wide at 280 cm and made for both everyday use and timeless projects. Smooth, opaque, and wearable, it’s suitable for everything from tailored garments to table linens, bedding, curtains, and dish towels.
The cloth is unprinted, undyed, and finished with oxygen bleach only. With its soft white tone and full-bodied weight, Layla brings a natural purity and strength to any textile application — both in the studio and the home.
The Fabric
This is a pure, certified organic linen, woven in Europe to high ecological standards. At 200 g/m², it has substance without stiffness — making it suitable for clothing and homeware alike. Its extra-wide width (280 cm) also makes it particularly economical for cutting large items or pattern-heavy projects.
Though not pre-washed, it softens beautifully with use and holds up well to hot washing, including boiling.

The Environment
Linen is one of the most sustainable fibres available — and this one is certified organic to GOTS standards. Flax grows without heavy irrigation or pesticides, thrives in poor soil, and leaves nothing behind. Every part of the plant is used, making it a zero-waste crop that nourishes both people and planet.
Health & Comfort
Linen is breathable, antibacterial, and gentle on the skin — especially ideal for sensitive skin, hot climates, or those who experience heat-related irritation. Its natural structure and open weave help regulate temperature while providing long-lasting wear.
Care
Linen loves to be washed. Over time, it softens while maintaining its strength. There's no need to iron — its creasing is part of its natural character. Hang to dry, and enjoy the lived-in beauty of a fibre that only gets better with age.
